Something weird happened in the 90’s. The demographic shifts
predicted years before seemed to accelerate. Collectively “non-whites” were
becoming a majority and the social construct known as “whiteness” was
threatened.

Only American whiteness could go through this crisis in the
way it is, the complete lack of self-consciousness and self-awareness inherent
in the institution of American whiteness would cause anyone thinking critically
about the concept a massive aneurism. Whiteness started out as an undercover
expression of Americanness as a matter of fact the two were equally
exchangeable. As class divisions broadened and slavery was introduced as an
institution the modern idea of “whiteness” was born. Poor whites might have
been poor but at least they were white.

Whiteness in its selective inclusiveness decided that Italians, Irish, and Spaniards could join their ranks fully enough to bolster their numbers and reinforce the idea that European culture (whatever the hell that actually is) was permanently tied to the American idea of whiteness. There were no more exclusive divisions between them as there were for the first half of the existence of America and about a few thousand years before. Side note: this is why no one should be surprised that the Alt-right has more than a few members who are Latinx. Inclusion of borderline minorities into the pantheon of whiteness isn’t new. Hell, they’ve even added a few Candice Owens and Jessie Lee Petersons as tangential allies.

So how does all of this amount to a death cult?

White Supremacy has always been about white dominance. It has always to some extent been about fear of white extinction, especially in America. Now that white birthrates have continued to decline, and white suicide rates continue to skyrocket, that narrative is given a whole lot of support for the notion of the destruction of the white race.

Never mind that its damn difficult to get a good
comprehensive definition of what that actually means especially given the
inclusion over time of previously “non-white” Europeans, whiteness is losing
its footing. There is no part of American whiteness that hasn’t been touched,
created, shaped or assisted by non-whites. There is still that hammer fisted
need to coopt the culture as a whole through proclamation, but as anyone who
has taken a DNA test for any reason knows, things aren’t nearly that cut and dry.
The DNA of America is decidedly mixed, its culture is hybrid and its
institutions although still bastions of White Supremacy, are folding. What
modern White Supremacy attempts to do is to culturally and physically separate or
eliminate non-white influence.

Doing that is like pulling the mitochondria form our cells, it’s
like removing a strand of DNA it will distort and then kill the person or
culture. At this point all the military worship, Sparta felation and Trump
supporting only pushes that vague concept of whiteness further into the trash.
The symbols of war, the glorification of death and the fear of losing the glory
of the past has pushed many a nation into divisions of convenience. The White
Supremacist death cult will likely do the same to the form of whiteness its adherents
wish to preserve.

The fear and panic of the elites who are more interested in family power than racial purity display some of these traits as well. With the shrinking of the availability of mates at their class level, wealthy whites are more likely to intermarry with South Asians, Chinese and Japanese, as those with better education are more likely to intermarry and wealthy whites are by far better educated than their poorer counterparts. The elites are still less inclined to marry into races that have typically been deemed inferior, so middle and lower class whites seem more likely to see their White Supremacy as threatening these groups. Oddly though the groups the intermarry with have in their own histories inherent class divisions, biases, and exclusions based on culture and or ethnicity. In many ways, this mirrors working-classing class whitness that has slowly become more ethnically inclusive in its ranks.

I often think about what a white homeland, as proposed by separatists would look like and how it would be structured. How would the government work, what system of government would it be how would rights be determined. Every utopian experiment tried so far that attempted some sort of purity test for entry has failed miserably. Not to mention that there hasn’t been a successful experiment on such a scale…. ever.

You can site Israel but I don’t think that applies and the nation got plenty of assistance from the US and others in its establishing years. I can’t imagine that a white homeland would get much governmental support aside from the land annexed. Though I can imagine them receiving help from sympathetic Europeans, that is a far cry from the institutional knowledge and infrastructural experience of a large established country.

I see that experiment descending into internal strife where all the uneducated angry whites who think it’s a good policy to move in with their better-educated cousins because uncle and auntie will provide them with jobs and a sense of purpose. I see cultural and personal differences of opinions turning into violence and chaos. I see a dictatorial society with no one left to target as the other turning in on itself and devouring its own untread upon tail. I see once the race war is won a class war brewing beneath. I see a death cult that will do nothing more than bring about the very destruction they seek to avoid.

In the foreground this is Emmet Till, the young man, who in 1955 was brutally lynched and his body desecrated for what basically amounts to an alleged cat call.

A cat call that was just recently obliterated by the target.

This is Till’s destroyed body, which his brave mother and father insisted be on display. This is the human cost of believing that the dignity of a 14 year old boy was erased by his “race”.

This was 63 years ago. Within the lifetimes of at least half of congress and a good number of Americans.

And we expect no consequences from events like this. No memory of the butchering of a 14 year old boy because someone alleged that he spoke in less a way than our current sitting president has spoken about several women ON TAPE.

The killers were never brought to justice because of the same system that we have in place today.

63 years.

If you think that this kind of butchery should be forgotten and it has no relevance to the gunning down of kids that same age by that same system, I have no kind words for you, none at all.

Radicalization has come to be synonymous with Islam and Islam signals folks who are non white although there have been a few notable Caucasian converts. It’s generally reserved for people who fall of the liberal western wagon and fall into the muddy ditch of identitarian authoritarianism. In other words radicalized = converted to radical Islam.

We use the term which should serve as a general description of anyone who has committed beyond reason to an ideology, usually a violent and destructive one, as a shortcut for signaling Islam. It’s a mistake that both reflects and colors our values, one that on some level is not a mistake at all but instead a value judgement based on so many assumptions.

We do operate in the sphere of cultural supremacy, the combination of assuming that so-called western values are the most “right” and that those values have all their roots in white western culture and those roots are purely derived from Europe and the cultural superiority of being American. Both are pretty ignorant, they assume that the blanks of history are all colored in White. They assume that, given all the interaction between the subjugated and the subjigators both here and abroad, now and in the past, that there is only one way to rub off.

They assume that missionaries and explorers, slavers and guests, never had any contact with people who produced any kind of two-way exchange. They assume that the spices and foods, culinary habits being one of the first and best introductions to a culture, were never traded. They assume that hunting and gathering and farming in different climates did not have some impact on those who observed them. They assume things that we in our daily lives know to be patently untrue. In the US, our art, culture culinary traditions and language borrow so much from outside influences that we’ve sometimes assumed they started here.

We operate, despite evidence to the contrary, in a blanket of assumptions that color our culture and language. We assume that only the Islamists are radicalized, we reserve that word for non-whites and race traitorous converted whites. When an instance of violence occurs perpetuated by a person of white European descent we make every excuse for their actions even when the targets and methods would suggest otherwise. We assume there is any other motive than what would be obvious if they were Muslim.

Until we can call a terrorist a terrorist, regardless of the color of their skin, until we can equate acts of violence based on ideology, regardless of what that ideology is, we are hopelessly lost in our delusion that White western culture is the only source from which civilization springs. We are also ignorant of our own cultural infancy as Americans, our civilization is not half as old as those we pull influence from and we can’t seem to integrate that into our collective consciousness.

We keep arguing around these issues, talking about SJWs instead of just being courteous enough to each other to simply listen, consider and then react, we keep using language that diminishes the concerns of people to tropes, on all sides. We color “flyover states” and BLM with broad brushes, not recognizing the breadth of opinion in the pigeonholed groups we create. We talk about western culture like it came about in a vacuum and ignore all the surrounding pieces assuming that the history we know, despite so many obvious modern parallels, is history with nothing left out.

We make a lot of assumptions, we kind of have to, but with the expanse of information we have at our fingertips we ignore even the slightest tweaks to our own worldview.

Sometimes the word is unspoken a la racists and other assorted bigots.

All.

Its spoken as an aside when describing women, assumed when “traditional values” are evoked.

All is a word that is mostly assumed whenever someone accuses someone else based on their membership in some group.

Sometimes “most” will suffice.

In my life as racial ambassador, confident, guy who goes where others dare, member of the family, incognito brother, I’ve experienced a lot of insider access to casual racism. In shops, firehouses and among friends and family, I’ve been the guy who isn’t like the others…assuming most of “us” are a certain way… the guy with which they let their guard down.

As that guy, I’ve heard people say things that they’d never feel comfortable speaking in public, for a second they forget that I’m one of “them” and let the truth fly.

Satirical as the above might be, there is more than a kernel of truth to it. Many whites, when they feel safe or are alone don’t give away newspapers, but they do give away a sense of their reality. Any “woke” white person who has been in a place where working-class white gather knows this as well, painfully.

When I read the story of a Kansas City man who spat on and called a little kid a Nigger, I wasn’t surprised. I also wasn’t surprised by his admission of being a “first responder” as I know for a fact that, in places where those who serve don’t look anything like the served there is plenty of room for harboring racial resentment at the very least, and regularly, racial hostility. And in the places where they do (I’ve been to Overland Park, and it is VERY white) the harboring is more like hosting.

The incident is a tip of the iceberg one for me. It marks a swing in the pendulum back to the 70’s and 80’s when whites felt much more emboldened to make judgments on blacks loudly and publicly. It marks the return to an open hostility that has been stirred up by the racial progress of the last 15 years, where the fact that we had our first President of color was only the tip pinnacle of a cultural sea-change. A change that took place in the culture that started (again) sometime around Disco and continued through Gangsta, driven first by curiosity and rebellion and then by marketing.

It is also a terrifying emergence of a new paradigm.

We never addressed our institutional race problem, we tried to introduce a measure of fairness here and there, but our affirmative actions never went far enough. In our police stations, firehouses, military, and rescue forces there are still deep pockets of racial hostility. We never went far enough to get minorities to take seriously the professions that pillar many white communities, rural and urban. We never propped up black and brown boys and girls who wanted to be cops and firefighters as well as carpenters and mechanics. Though seeing this made that reality unsavory to many of us:

The truth is that vocational education failed to reach many of us. Even if we did break through the stigma, what greeted us when we tried to gain entry into the professions was a cultural gatekeeper that made the process all but impossible.

So this guy, who may or may not be what he claims to be, was able to by his assumed membership in an indeed revered and protected class, avoid arrest and escape prosecution. They used to hang us for looking the wrong way at whites, (night sticks and tasers are now the preferred methods) this guy assaults a black boy, degrades him and in 2018 barely gets a slap on the wrist because he claims to be “hero.”

This whole culture glorifies the warrior myth. I hear people who dodged the draft or avoided service extolling the virtues of the Army, Air Force, Marines and the flow through professions of Fireman, EMT, and Police. Some without the virtue of first-hand experience and others who benefitted from the inherited whiteness of them. The associations are clear, first responder, military = white.

So the question is, does this guy get off on the denigration of his fellow heroes by claiming he is immune from being arrested for assaulting a preschooler or is he evoking the long tradition of racial safe spaces in our firehouses, ambulance companies, and police stations?

It will be interesting what response, if any, comes from the first responder community.
